Rats, you should pay particular attention to any health problems this year, and get a check up if there is any discomfort. Maintain a good work-life with enough rest in your spare time.

Rabbits' Horoscope and Lucky Colors for 2023

2023 is Rabbit people’s benmingnian (本命年 běnmìngnián /bnn-ming-nyen/ 'origin (of) life year').

Rabbits, in your ‘birth year’, you are believed to offend Tai Sui (/tie-sway/), the God of Age in Chinese mythology, and so you are predicted many challenges with frequent life changes. You’re advised to be more careful about all aspects of your lives in 2023.

It’s better for you to avoid big changes, like getting married or starting a new company. Be circumspect with problem solving and communication, and wear red underwear and socks to reduce bad luck. Your career will be ok if you work hard, and, despite everything, a promotion’s likely. Believe that ‘a rainbow will come after the wind and rain’.

How to be luckier: Wear red underwear and socks, and carry or wear lucky dog trinkets.

Dragons' Horoscope and Lucky Colors for 2023

On the whole, 2023 should be totally unfavorable for Dragons due to Tai Sui opposition, but they shouldn’t worry too much. Dragons, this coming year, the lucky stars will also shine on you, so you just need to maintain the right focus and 2023 will go without a hitch.

Dragons, your career luck is set to be relatively good, with a good performance at work and help from influential persons leading to a promotion/raise. In romantic relationships, there will be mixed fortunes with the opposite sex, and marriage will be difficult to talk about due to personal problems. Dragons with partners will find it difficult to understand them and find themselves facing an interpersonal ‘cold war’. You should try to see things from your love’s point of view and interact more.

Dragons’ health horoscope is average and they won’t feel so fit. Dragon people, pay attention to daily relaxation and exercise, and develop habits of regular eating and sleep.

In love, however, Horses will find everything going smoothly. Horse singles will find relationships blossoming and will reap a predestined affinity.

Why is the Rabbit Ranked Fourth in Chinese Zodiac?

Legend has it that in ancient times, the zodiac Rabbit had a long, furry tail. Every day, he liked to curl his tail round himself and sleep comfortably in his hole. When hungry, he would stick his head out and lazily eat the green grass at the entrance of his hole.

It didn't take long for the grass on the entire hillside to be eaten up by Rabbit, revealing a bare hole. One day, a wolf noticed the bare grassy slope and found the place where the rabbit lived. It was quietly lurking in the grass not far from the entrance of the hole, preparing to ambush Rabbit.

When the sun was up, Rabbit woke up hungry and ate the grass beside the hole as usual. The wolf bit into Rabbit’s long tail , and only then, Rabbit reacted and kicked his hind legs vigorously. When the wolf was kicked in the face, its sharp teeth bit off Rabbit's tail with its own forceful reaction. After the wolf was knocked unconscious for a few seconds, it immediately gave chase in the direction of Rabbit.

At this moment, a roar came from the sky and a little white dragon stepped between Rabbit and the wolf. He stopped the wolf who was chasing the Rabbit. Rabbit’s instincts made him not stop to think about it, and just use his last ounce of strength to escape.

Eventually Rabbit could barely run any more. Just as he was about to rest under a tree for a while, he seemed to see Ox standing behind the line, Rat on Ox's head, and Tiger behind the Ox... It turned out that Rabbit had accidentally crossed the finish line of the zodiac sign race. When he woke up, he found 11 animals surrounding him, as well as the little white dragon who helped Rabbit escape the wolf's mouth. Therefore, in the ranking of the zodiac, Rabbit comes fourth and Dragon ranks fifth.
